I killed our worms. It was just too hot for them outside, even in the shade. I looked up temperature ranges and found that 85 is really quite warm for them (I had previously thought that it had cooled down enough because the highs were in the low 90s instead of the low 100s). So the worms died and the fly larvae took over.
We ordered more worms and started over. This time, we're keeping them inside until it gets much cooler.
On the upside, starting over gave me a chance to try my hand at shredded-paper bedding as opposed to the coconut coir bedding that came with the worm farm. I'm hopeful it'll work out this time.
